Well folks I finally got my hands on some Albino Boas. This is one of my proudest moments. It ranks right up their with seeing my kids born. I am thrilled to be able to share with you guys.
I bought a reverse trio of Boas. Man I got one heck of a deal on them too. I hope you guys can join in my excitement. Here are the pics.

I like the one that you can see the pink pattern all the way down it. Also what do you do with all the reptiles you have and why are you buying more?!?! Technically you need a wharehouse to put all the creatures you have. Hats off to you for being able to keep them all in good shape and having time to care for them.

Thanks dude but I have sold and traded off almost everything to fund the Boas. LOL I only have around 6 snakes and a pair of Black Throats which I plan to sell. I like the one you mentioned too. He is from a Coral line and is really a beauty. Thanks for the compliments.

Wes, why do you plan to sell the blackthroats? Too much work? Sorry, but I'm big into monitors. They're the most intelligent reptiles in the world. I find it hard for anything else to match my fascination with monitors.

Still, very cool snakes, we've had a series of babies at work from our albino pair.

Congratz Wes! It's great you could reach your dream, now it's time to enjoy those beauties! How much you paid for them? I know price is not a problem when talking about herps and specially a dream, but I'm really curious about it since I live in Argentina. Enjoy them! :-D

Honestly I have Albino fever now. I am trying to get some money to buy either some het females or another albino female. I have 2 Jungle Dwarf Boas I am going to sell also. I'm moving almost everything to fund more albino blood. But the Black throats are healthy and doing good. They are already eating small rats. They have grown to around 20 to 22 inches long nose to tail. I am asking what I paid for them as babies and that is it. They are triple the size they were. I love monitors too. But Man I love the albino Boas waaaaaay more at the moment LOL

Wow! that is a good price, I can never find anybody that cuts me deals like that, everyone I meet tries to over charge me! But yeah that is a really good price, you should have paid that for half or not even that of one of those.

I cleaned the cages so I took some pics. I can take more and post in the Monitor forum. I have been keeping them on Peat moss so they are a little dark colored. I guess the tanic acid does that. Well here you go bud.

I also like the Blackthroats. I find it easier to connect with an animal that has eyelids. Do your best to find them a good home, it's so sad when those gorgeous animals have to die a slow death in a pet store.
